   We were expecting live music, but they only do that on Friday and Saturday. We should have called ahead and asked.

   Yummy food and excellent service. Enjoyed beet salad, fish tacos, meatloaf sliders, and lobster “corn dogs”. All were delicious. Cozy atmosphere and professional, courteous service from our waitstaff, Maya.

   The food is excellent! Live music was amplified which was unnecessary given the small venue, which is much better suited to an acoustic music performance. We could barely hear each other talk and was even hard to order. Service was well meaning but understaffed. Overall we would return on a night that did not feature live music.

   Love the food, service and ambiance however the music and speaker was soooo loud. Too loud! I felt as if we were in a nightclub instead of a nice restaurant

   Brought my out of town friends to try this restaurant. Food was very tasty- we all had something different and shared. For the life of me I don’t understand a restaurant giving item in three- not two , not four. The restaurant wasn’t very crowded, however our server acted very put out that he had to serve us, drinks and food took a very long time and he forgot a dish, didn’t ask to refill drinks or check in. He did give us a free birthday dessert however it took 20 minutes! I’d go back and hope not to be seated in our servers section.

    Wonderful food. Entertainment made it difficult to have a conversation too loud!
